What’s in a name?
What could have been a nightmare turned into a happy ending for a diner in the Washington, D.C., area, and the restaurant would probably prefer those exact words. After allegations arose that Russia had leverage over President-elect Donald Trump because it knew of his predilection for what might be called water sports, the Community restaurant added a new menu item: the Golden Showers Burger.
The sandwich consisted of a patty topped with “self-tanning cheddar and yellow mustard leaking down the sides,” with a “little pickle,” a sly reference to allegations Trump disputed about his manhood during the campaign, added as a garnish.
Community sold the burger for just a day, charging $20 a pop. For each one that was sold, the restaurant agreed to donate $5 to Planned Parenthood.
Ten were sold during the limited window, according to Eater. But the restaurant also caught an earful from Trump defenders and consumers who thought the whole thing was in bad taste.
Trump has dismissed the assertions that he hired a pack of prostitutes to join him in defiling a hotel bed that had once been used by a political rival, saying, “I’m a germaphobe.”
